Ironwood board members, officers, and staff members yearly sign this statement.

I am a born-again believer, and I believe

• in the biblical account of creation;
• in the plenary, verbal inspiration of the Bible;
• in the eternal, triune God;
• in the incarnation and virgin birth of the Lord Jesus Christ;
• in the sinless life and substitutionary atonement of Jesus Christ on the cross;
• in the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the grave;
• in the second coming of Jesus Christ;
• in the eternal punishment of the unsaved in a literal, burning hell;
• in salvation by faith through the shed blood of Jesus Christ;
• in a separated stand from the world and unto the Word of God;
• in a separated stand from any group or church that undermines or denies the above essential doctrines;
• in the God-ordained institution of marriage between one man and one woman, and that all moral sexual relations are exercised solely within marriage;
• in biblical gender distinctives, including the office of pastor as limited to men.
